    Neither the Mini, MacBook / Pro or iMac seem to have HDMI port(s) at any price.

    Even my shitty HP Pavilion has one (to go along with its flimsy, useless drawer-loading HD-DVD drive and Vista.)

    What does Mac have against HDMI ports in their cheaper computers? Honestly, if someone knows, enlighten me, because I'd by a Mini (maybe two!) in a second if it had one.

    @bmoreDLJ: HDMI has lower resolution and less functionality as it was designed for TVs. Display port is more advanced and was designed for computer monitors.

    For an example see Target Display Mode. New 27 inch iMacs can be used as a display by taking video input through its display port. #applenews

    @bmoreDLJ: HDMI is old, that's why. Apple always tends to push new technology - the original iMac went all USB when USB was still a novelty, for example. Now we have DisplayPort, which is the next-gen display connector. It can still connect to HDMI via an adapter, anyhow, but, it's getting to be an old interface not suited for the high-res displays computers have. #applenews

    In response to (1) - One of the biggest rallying cries against the Mac is the expense of the hardware, particularly the desktops. I've always felt that Apple should use AMD processors in, at the very least, their down-market computers. The i5 + i5 mobo combo is expensive. A Phenom II + AM3 mobo would be significantly ($100+ savings) cheaper, something that can be marketed and passed on to an economically depressed consumer. #applenews

    Why would they take out the replaceable battery? What if you want a spare to keep with you when the main one dies? Or what happens when your battery gets old and can't keep a charge? Why would they remove this possibility?

    I'm sorry, the rest of this stuff seems fine, but why would they do that? I don't have a Macbook, but I've replaced the battery on my laptop once since I bought it 3 years ago and I've heard of plenty of people who like to have several batteries. #applenews

    @Platypus Man: I believe their argument is that by removing all the stuff necessary to make it removable, they can make it bigger, which eliminates the need to have another battery. Seeing as laptop batteries are ridiculously expensive, I'm all for it. #applenews

    @Platypus Man: Yes. By non-replaceable, it means Genius only replaceable.

    Most people jump to the conclusion that, not having a non-removable battery sucks, including me. But if you think about it, you actually save money and get a seriously impressive battery. It's a smart move. There is only an extremely small percentage who have multiple batteries for long, outlet-less, trips.

    The only downside is you might be without your laptop for a day, which is traumatizing in itself. #applenews

    @Platypus Man: Yes, you do. But also, most laptop users are non-pros who often upgrade their machines. I used to complain about iPod batteries until I realized I never have had to replace them because I end up selling my older model and getting a newer one before the battery kicks the bucket.

    It still upsets me we are in a disturbingly disposable world, but consumer products nowadays forgo practicality. Makes me wistful for the days of yore.
